Warning: telephone fraud scheme - do not reply to missed calls
TRC directs operators to warn customers of scam
The Telecommunication Regulator of Cambodia yesterday asked all mobile operators in the country to warn its customers of a fraud scheme caught by multiple government agencies.
In a letter issued by TRC chairman Moa Chakrya, the regulator said customers have been receiving missed phone calls from countries like Afghanistan, Tanzania, Serbia, Lativa and others, in a scheme which collects money if the customer returns the call.
According to anti-human trafficking police, customers returning the phone calls were losing between $15 and $30.

Re: Warning: telephone fraud scheme - do not reply to missed calls
I use to get regular missed calls from various pacific islands. No ring, just a blip and into the missed call log. Assumed it was a premium number scam. I barely return my family's calls, why would I call a unknown overseas number?

That explains the missed call from Tonga I got 3 days ago, thanks for the headsup.

Re: Warning: telephone fraud scheme - do not reply to missed calls
I received a missed call from PNG late last week. Rang two or three times and then that was it.
Lucky I missed the call as I am job hunting now and would have answered it.

Re: Warning: telephone fraud scheme - do not reply to missed calls
On July the 6 th and today as well, I have received a call from a " Private Number " that's what it says on the screen . Did not answer this, just ignored it. So what would that be ?

I've never answered calls from outside countries. Always smells fishy
